Chart-topping girl group BINI releases their radiant new single, “First Luv,” now available on all streaming platforms via ABS-CBN. Following a year of sold-out arena shows, international collaborations, and growing global recognition, this vibrant release solidifies BINI’s rise as one of the new generation’s global pop acts. They made history this month as the first Filipino group to be confirmed on the lineup for Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in 2026 alongside superstars Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. The inclusion of performing at their first-ever U.S. music festival marks a major step towards worldwide recognition.

The newest single takes center stage as a radiant, feel-good anthem that captures the magic of young love and the rush of butterflies that come with it. Following the success of their hit, “Shagidi,” which trended No.1 in the Philippines and sparked a viral dance challenge that has generated millions of views across TikTok and YouTube, the track further solidified BINI’s reputation as a cultural force and rising name in global pop. Infused with pop elements and a touch of island rhythm, “First Luv,” delivers pure sunshine in audio form. Switching seamlessly between Tagalog and English, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of youthful romance, the exhilarating moments, and the thrill of wondering if someone special feels the same way.

BINI has added several major milestones to their growing international profile. In February 2025, they launched the BINIverse World Tour with a historic sold-out concert at the Philippines Arena in Bulacan, becoming the first Filipino act to achieve a solo sell-out in the world’s largest indoor venue with 50,000 capacity. The tour spanned Asia, Europe, and North America, with stops in Dubai, London, and multiple U.S. and Canadian cities. BINIverse,  which released this past February, marked a milestone that expanded their reach and cemented their standing on the global stage.

Their recognition has grown steadily, with BINI named one of Spotify’s Breakout Artists of 2024, the only Filipino act on the list, and featured in GRAMMY.com’s “14 Pinoy Pop Acts You Should Know.” The group also collaborated with Spanish-Mexican singer BELINDA (11.2 million monthly Spotify listeners) on “Blink Twice (Dos Veces Remix),” marking the first collaboration between a Mexican artist and a Filipino group. Most recently, BINI earned three nominations at Brazil’s 2025 BreakTudo Awards and won “Female Group of the Year” at the 2025 Jupiter Music Awards, further solidifying their growing global presence.

Alongside these significant milestones, BINI became the first Filipino pop group to perform at KCON Los Angeles, the world’s largest Korean culture and music festival, captivating global audiences. They have also earned major accolades including MTV EMA’s “Best Asia Act” and continue to live up to their title as the Philippines’ “Nation’s Girl Group.” As they enter their new era of music, the octet stands at the forefront of Filipino pop music’s international breakthrough, bringing Filipino music to bigger stages and broader audiences worldwide.
